Springfield Man Runs in Six Countries to Support
Convoy of Hope’s Initiatives to Help the Less Fortunate

International efforts bring awareness to
agricultural programs in third world countries.

Springfield, MO (PRWEB) March 07, 2013

Springfield, Mo. – Dr. Jason Streubel, agricultural specialist for Convoy of Hope, just finished a running campaign through six countries to raise awareness of the international relief organization’s mission to help the less fortunate around the world.

Streubel began his adventure with a marathon in Haiti, then trekked through The Dominican Republic, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia and ended his adventure by completing a recent ultra-marathon in Little Rock, Ark.

“Each step I took was to help the poor and hungry,” says Streubel. “Sustainable agriculture is a large component of this effort – one that I hope to bring greater awareness to.”

Streubel has a Ph.D. in soil science and leads Convoy of Hope’s agricultural development initiatives in seven countries where community leaders are taught agricultural techniques that help provide healthy living environments and education.
